Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Feedback:
Clinical reasoning is the process of making a nursing judgment that will provide safe and quality care.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
To deal with the client's problems appropriately, the student nurse will need to use her knowledge base from previous classes. Critical thinking skills are necessary, but these do not have to be at an expert level. Theoretic and practical knowledge are complementary, not contradictory. A clinical log does not ensure effective care.
